Link exchange
Last week end I officially exchanged links with a blog that I featured on my private blogroll since a while: Aromatisches Blog. It is in German, and brings articles on fragrant stuff and some hints and tips of making things yourself. Like Papier d’Arménie; You find an instruction how to make this scented smoking paper here: http://www.aromatisches-blog.de/?p=92 . I have never tried it, but will have to one day after Christmas….
Today Aromatisches Blog features Linalool, one of the wonder molecules in perfumery, and I especially appreciated the statement “it brings about lightness and sets highlights there where mixtures of pure natural compounds might be to closely grouped together.” Of course, a similar aspect might be tried to be reached with a coriander/lavender mixes when employing naturals only. But then, linalool indeed comes in handy quite often. A must have. And probably employed in my last rose trial, too. This trial is ready for dilution now. I will do so tonight, hoping for a stable nose. What I sniff right now, sitting next to me in the train, sprayed on toilette paper, looks interesting indeed. Well, at least one nice discovery this cold morning….
Finally….., what follows next is the daily bulletin from the Tauer sick bay…. nose a little bit clogged, but at around 95% of its capacity, coughing worse, head ache stabilized, number of fellow coughers growing, everyone seems to get sick these days around me.
Fragrant greetings

Sending you healing greetings! Take your vitamins and get plenty of rest. I know Chaya would send you some chicken soup if you were only closer!

Dear Andy, It is a pity, that I do not know German and I can not read through post. I wish you the prompt recover, the nose for the perfumer is its life and emotions. I very badly react to cold, it suppresses emotions and oppresses mentality.
Let your nose will be free - soul and heart are filled. Le Maroc pour elle-my love for ever.

Dear Sharon
So nice to see you here and read your comment. I thank you for your greetings. They have arrived this very afternoon, when for the first time since a couple of days, I got the impression with are going up again! Hurray! I send you fragrant greetings and hugs from a distance.
Dear Vladimir
I react badly to colds, too. Mentally, I get really angry, fighting with myself and my body. I do not like to be remembered this way in my physical limits. And I hate it if my nose starts clogging up. This makes me very angry. But luckily, I am too tired to be really angry ;-)
Fragrant greetings to you!

Hope you feel better soon Andy. I had bronchitis over 2 weeks ago and I am still suffering. I feel worse first thing on a morning when I have a really irritating tickly cough. My mid day I don’t feel too bad and then on an evening I start to fade again. It’s certainly put a lot of perfume sniffing on hold.
